Lucy has one last appointment with Dr. Maxwell and a birthday party with the family with a not surprising gift from her father before she boards the ship for the sailing from New York City to Tangier for her imminent marriage to Hugo. While upper crust Brit Hugo is a safe, staid choice for Lucy by Grant and Vanessa's standards, Lucy still hopes to spread her wings from the gilded bird cage in which she's lived solely by being out of the cage, and in an exotic locale with a handsome husband. Lucy gets a taste of what Tangier might have to offer on board the ship in meeting most specifically Lili von X and hearing her stories. There is a less than satisfying end for Hugo with his last encounter with Adham before Lucy's arrival, which he believes does not necessarily mean any change in their relationship. Hugo will find that the start of married life with Lucy is not quite what he wants, including what was a previously unmentioned expectation from Grant in now being part of the family.
